Our user asked: "I am disabled recieving social security. I want to build up my leg, back, stomach, arms, heart rate and weight down. I have chronic Back Syndrome can you recomend a book for the machines at LA Fitness Thank You."

Ask a PT Response: "I would recommend you consult with your physical therapist or obtain the services of a certified personal trainer to determine what machines would be appropriate for you to use. Should you decide to utilize a personal trainer, I'd see if the trainer could consult with your PT or physician to discuss what would benefit you the most while minimizing and kind of injury. Sorry, we could not have been more of assistance."
